Mullins Coffee Shop in Mole Valley

Stumbled across this lovely little cafe. Lots of information throughout about the history of the building. The breakfast was 👌🏼 I had poached eggs with avocado and bacon on a muffin and it was delicious, the coffee was great too! We knew it would be good as soon as we walked in from a very wet morning to be greeted warmly by the staff and the amazing smell of bacon cooking. 10/10 🌟

Great service and tasty food (and coffee!), all round excellent experience. We also bought some delicious homemade cake to take away. Will definitely return when we are in Dorking. Highly recommend!!!!! Thank you.

Owners Basil and Susan were friendly and engaging to each person who entered. Locals as well as tourists are welcome. Susan's scones are the best. The historical Mullins building goes back to the early 1600's. You can see original brick and the fireplace of the home. When you go to Dorking, you must make time to visit them. - from 2 sisters who enjoyed their hospitality

Lovely afternoon tea with fresh sandwiches, cake and scones. Wonderful service. Historic house in the centre of Dorking. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming, great service & pleasant surroundings- small but full of charm. Delicious food, all hand made & served with a warm smile.

My mum and l visited Mullins for an afternoon tea having booked through the website. The whole experience was great; everyone was very friendly, the venue is full of character and the afternoon tea was delicious! I would recommend the homemade ginger cake! A rare gem!

Lovely, warm, family run cafe. Basel made us feel so welcome, Food was freshly made and very tasty. Throughly recommend. Delicious ginger cake! This is one of our favourites. ❤️

Highly recommended charming tea room in the heart of Dorking. We returned because we were so impressed with the lovely food and wonderful service. Susan’s jacket potatoes (and paninis) where cooked to perfection served with tea/ soft drinks and the most amazing ginger cake. Warmly welcomed and friendly attentive service throughout. Myself and my sisters all agreed we could take Basil home with us! Will definitely be returning!

As usual, the food, the service and ambience at Mullins were excellent. Susan and Basil do run a wonderful coffee shop and eatery in the lovely town of Dorking. We have visited on several occasions every time we have stayed with friends in Dorking, and they love it too. Mullins is situated in a building once owned by William Mullins who was one of the pioneers aboard the first Mayflower sailing to North America in 1620. We will continue to visit Mullins every time we travel down to see our friends. All the hot food options are wonderful and the cakes are superb, including the amazing ginger cake. Keep up the great work Susan and Basil and we hope to see you again very soon.

Myself and my Grandson were visiting Dorking from Oldham for the football match and after reading reviews of Mullins' coffee shop we thought we would visit for breakfast. We had made a reservation and its a good job we did as the coffee shop was full by the time we left late morning on Saturday. The owner is very pleasant, helpful and obliging and the food we had was absolutely spot on. I opted for the full breakfast which did not disappoint and my Grandson opted for a toasted sandwich. Both were freshly cooked and we enjoyed our drinks while we waited. A fellow Oldham fan was also enjoying a breakfast here! All in all, definitely worth visiting and we have no hesitation in returning. A comprehensive menu catering for all tastes. Thankyou to all the staff for making our visit to your coffee shop and Dorking a memorable one.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL STAFF,SERVICE AND FOOD ESPECIALLY THE GINGER CAKE..CAN'T RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH 10 OUT OF 10

Decided on this cafe as looked lovely & was, quite quint, proper 'old style' teacups. Food v hot & panini was big with plenty of filling. I rec Bacon Brie & Cranbury. Staff lovely & attentive, nothing too much trouble. Was busy place so knew would be good. Nice to read history of building & look at their memrobellia. We not from area but when visit Dorking again will return

Very friendly service and staff amazing food excellent value for money would definitely recommend that you try the ginger cake

We've been trying to get into Mullins for a few years now, but it's always full when we visit Dorking. But today was our lucky day, and what a treat is was. Delicious sandwiches very generously packed with lovely, fresh fillings and the best coffee in town served with a delightful taste of ginger cake. Such a friendly greeting too, it was an absolute pleasure to visit - a perfect coffee shop.

A smallish cafe with great hospitality. Potato waffles, poached egg and avocado were perfect for an eleven o’clock meal. The table service also gives it extra points.

Very busy when I arrived. Owner served me and was courteous and nice. Sorry I can't give a glowing review. My food took far, far too long to arrive. Although I have a pretty common special dietary requirement which was used as justification for the very long wait for a sandwich, it was still not good. Other cafes manage to fix me food in far less time. I thought my sandwich filling tasted good but that it was very expensive for what I had - amount of salad served with it and sandwich size were tiny. On the plus side, I really liked the vibe and all the memorabilia and historical explanation about the links with the shoemaker who had worked out of this shop - maybe even lived there - who left for America on the Mayflower, ultimately being an ancestor of many Americans - including Marilyn Monroe.

£7 for a tuna sandwich! Why? I've been done, so expensive for something so bland. Paid £3.60 down the road a couple of days later.

Myself and my wife went to Mullins for an afternoon tea. From friendly staff, through to excellent food this was a memorable trip. Very reasonably priced and will certainly be going again when we next go to Dorking. Top tip try their specialty the ginger cake, one of the best cakes we have ever tried.

This is a great find, nice staff, good food and a bit of history. The Coffee Shop is situated in the house of William Mullins. Mullins was one of the Pilgrim Father's who sailed on The Mayflower to America in 1620. The Menu includes breakfast, light lunches and home baked cakes. There is a nice range of Spanish fruit juices to order by the bottle as well. Small, very tidy and with excellent service. A ready welcome here.

Arrived at around 15:20pm. Although many places were free - we had to sit at a particular table because ‘the others had been cleaned and weren’t to be used’ .. presumably do the owner should make an easy closure at 16:00. Our permitted table was inline with the door and traffic noise was bad. Ordered the ginger/date cake - unfortunately was dry and crumbly - definitely not moist and delicious. A disappointing visit.

Excellent little coffee shop on fab antiques street in Dorking. Delightful owners providing great service, attention to detail, and most importantly scrumptious food. The piece de resistance is the homemade ginger cake. Baked on the premises by the owner and the BEST I have ever tasted. If you find yourself perusing the antiques in Dorking and are in need of refreshments, be sure to pop in here😃

I cannot fault this quaint little cafe! The service and food were top notch plus the owner was very friendly and chatty! Normally I leave a cafe still hungry but the portions at Mullins are more than adequate.

First visit to this really lovely little cafe . History of the Mullins family and their Mayflower journey is well presented and the cafe has a sunny and friendly vibe. Our sandwiches, wrap and home made cakes were all fresh and delicious. Tea in a pot and with the offer of a "top up". Will be back.

We moved away from Dorking, so not been back to Mullins for a while. Back visiting town, headed straight for Mullins as we missed our frequent visits. Cafe was busy, but Basil and Sue made us very welcome. The food was still as excellent as we remembered, as was the service. Looking forward to our next visit 😁

The best ginger cake ever!! Popped in because we were passing and wanted a break. The warmest, most friendly welcome awaited us. Lovely banter from the owner and his lovely wife. Excellent service. Delicious teacakes. Great coffee. Absolutely perfect. Thank you!

Best toasted cheese tomato & onion i have had, coffee great too. Owners friendly and accommodating. This place is not only the place to eat, but also a cultural gem.

Dreadful Panini’s that were heated in the microwave and not toasted. Stay away, awful! When my husband complained hot he gentleman gave some feeble excuse about the fillings being very generous!

We dropped in here whilst visiting the area for a few days. The cafe was busy but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table to be vacated and cleaned. Welcoming and attentive staff, great lunch and tea served in a pot...

We are regulars here. The owners are really friendly and value your custom. Breakfast, lunch, drinks cakes etc. Everything we’ve had has been lovely.

Called in today for breakfast en route to the coast. Probably the best breakfast and service we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended

This place is PERFECTION . Really pretty decor , cutlery and crockery . Good choices for breakfast ,light lunch or afternoon tea . Food was great . Friendly and efficient staff . Excellent hygiene and Covid respectful measures

Had a lovely salad and coffee here on Sunday 6th September. Home made food prepared on site, and a great blend of coffee. Spole to the owner and his wife - lovely people who made us feel very welcome

Happened upon Mullins when walking around Dorking a Sunday afternoon. Had the best panini I’ve ever had as well as a delicious salad. Everything is homemade and it shows. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if not a detour!! Keep up the good work!

Stop by chance and glad I did, food was nice, nice strong coffee and very friendly service throughout, would recommend if in the area

Lovely breakfast here this morning with lovely sunny service. There is hand sanitizer at the door and you have to leave your name and number for the track and trace. The ginger cake was delicious.

decided to stop here on a whim and so happy I did. Really cute little cafe with warm, friendly service. The food was delicious.

Second trip into Dorking, and found this lovely little Coffee shop, down a side street, very pleasant experience, would definitely return. P.S try the Ginger cake...... Very clean and staff were very welcoming.

We spent a few days in Surrey and walked in to Mullins on one of our mornings! We were enticed from about a mile away due to the amazing smell coming down the high street. So friendly and the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had. If Mullins was near me I would be in there every morning.

Large selection of veggie options, some vegan options too. The food tasted really fresh and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing. Would recommend- 10/10

Lovely café. Can't fault it at all. Pretty surroundings, lovely food with a nice healthy selection (I had an avo, chick pea, beetroot salad which was divine. It looked like it was a family run business and the staff were really attentive and they were very mindful of following covid hygiene rules. It was also super clean. Would highly recommend

Love Mullins -it’s my local cafe. Lovely owners. Cakes are so delicious. The ginger cake is amazing and had the coffee and walnut which was so good had to come back the next day for another slice !

We had a really nice brunch at Mullins! Our waiter was very friendly and welcoming, and he was also very good at helping me to tailor my order to my dietary requirements (no gluten, limited lactose). The food and tea were both really tasty, and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere. I'm sure we will go back!

Family business selling homecooked food and cakes. Lovely historic building too. One of the Pilgrim fathers,from the Mayflower lived there.

Had a nice breakfast with a friend, good coffee and yummy ginger cake. Service was good and staff very nice. Would return, not sure I would take children as it was small inside.

We had tea and cakes and were expecting something quite special, given the great reviews. Unfortunately, we found the cakes rather ordinary. Nothing special to be honest

Me and my friend booked a table for afternoon tea, the staff were very friendly and helpful, we were seated immediately and given a menu. The choice was excellent and when the food arrived it was very well presented and tasted great! 10/10 would recommend

Slightly cramped little coffee shop and good service with very friendly welcome from the owner. really good sized coffee cups and very tasty and filling paninis.

During our stay in Dorking we visited Mullins several times and always enjoyned our time there. Mullins is a lovely place with the best scones and afternoon tea (smoked salmon sandwich is paricularly good). The staff was very very nice and owner of the place was super friendly and we had a few interesting conversations. We felt welcome and were served politely and promptly. The atmosphere in Mullins is very "warm" and homely and they always serve us some extra clotted cream when they found out we really like a lots of it with our scones :). And that is a big portion of good points for Mullins :).

Lovely cafe Good, tasty food served in a welcoming environment There are many options in Dorking - this is one to try for an inexpensive, enjoyable lunch

We are regulars at Mullins. The food is always great and the service is always friendly. Took my older relatives there and they loved it also.

An awesome experience everytime!The poached eggs are always perfect and the welcome as you walk in is friendly.

This Coffee Shop is really good. The owners & staff are very efficient and there is a welcoming atmosphere. Does great breakfast, light lunches & teas. The history related to the building is very interesting. Highly recommended!

Visited the cafe on a Friday lunchtime. It’s a nice little cafe in the centre of Dorking and feels homely. The menu has a good range of sandwiches and paninis which were tasty. Unfortunately the food took around 45mins to arrive despite the simple menu. The delay was due to there being 10 people’s orders (about 2/3 of the capacity) being in front of ours. Really do feel like they could do with an extra pair of hands in the kitchen. The other thing was very much looking forward to a cake afterwards as they looked great from afar. However, upon closer inspection it was easy to see that the sponge cake wasn’t very fluffy and was underbaked; we therefore passed on ordering some.

Lovely little coffee shop in the house live in by William Mullins before he went with the Pilgrim Fathers to America on the Mayflower nearly 400 years ago. Exciting visit as I met a direct descendant, visiting from Connecticut. Wonderful scones, cake and quite excellent copy. Basil and Susan will give you a. very warm welcome. A must visit (along with the Dorking Museum just along the road) next year to celebrate our connection with our American cousins.

This lovely coffee shop is situated in the home of one of my ancestors and I felt warmly welcomed by Basil and Susan. They have a well-researched and fitting history of William Mullins and his family who sailed on the Mayflower to America in 1620. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and delightful chat. The hospitality was outstanding! Thank you, Basil and Susan for welcoming us so warmly into my ancestral home and your cafe,

I popped in here today to order lunch for myself and several other colleagues for a team meeting at our office which is local to Mullins. We are newly open so not familiar with lunch options in the area.

I was recommended to visit here by a local friend, and wasn’t disappointed.The poached eggs were perfect.The coffee also came with a small square of homemade ginger cake, at first I thought it was a brown sugar cube.Such a nice touch.I have since been back a few times and taken family members.Never been disappointed.The coffee shop has a lovely atmosphere and is busy.The staff are always friendly and it’s spotlessly clean.By far the best in Dorking.

The afternoon tea was extremely tasty, service was good with great staff and it is a lovely setting. However my friend and I were disappointed at the lack of sandwiches. It is only one sandwich each, which actually comes as three small finger sandwiches. Overall there was enough food for us to feel full but I certainly could have eaten double the amount of sandwiches as I was hungry again not long after.

Cappuccio ottimo e possibilità di colazioni o spuntini con panini e toast senza glutine! Tutto ottimo. Servizio molto cordiale. Consigliatissimo.

My husband and I visited today it’s looks pretty from the outside and we were not let down from the inside. It’s pretty inside also. The young lady serving us was fabulous and very friendly an asset to the owners.

We dropped in here this morning for a quick breakfast - seen good ratings on trip advisor. A lovely clean place , with 9x2 seat tables which could be pushed together if a bigger party.

I first went into Mullins in the summer of 2017 with my family. It was almost 11 am and we had not had any breakfast and were hungry. We walked in and were greeted with such warmth and welcome that I have been back many times. I am from Singapore and I visit Dorking at least or twice a year and each time I make it a point to stop by for coffee and a piece of Susan's cakes.

Planned this trip to Mullins for almost a year. The owners are so friendly and I am so glad we took the extra time to get here. We were greeted and made to fill at home instantly. The scones were the best I had anywhere on our trip-the cream was delightful and the jam was my husbands favorite. And a perfect cup of tea! Thank you for your desire to preserve my ancestor's history.

Quaint, friendly & delicious. Owners make you feel like you are a local. Very welcoming. Yummy breakfast. Simple home cooking that hits the spot when traveling. Will definitely return next time we are in the area!

This little shop is clean and offers delicious English food and drink. The desserts were great, especially Victoria Sponge Cake. Also, the people who run it are dear and friendly. The tea complete with clotted cream and pastries are amazing. Go here to have a relaxing and first class meal.

The best coffee and walnut in the World!!!! And the service is great and friendly. Is Carlsberg would do coffee shops this one would also definitely be done by them, like they say probably the best one in the world.

I decided that as I think it is highly unlikely I could ever give a 5, but give my best a 4 that I would show you a more specific score.

This was a find. Fancied a coffee whilst in Dorking, Surrey and found this place. Who would have though that this building had so much historic significance. It was the hose of one of the people that left England on the Mayflower to the US.

Just had a lovely lunch in Mullins coffee shop. Would recommend. Nice cakes and coffee just had a panini very nice

After walking past this coffee shop a few times my husband and I decided to pop in for morning coffee and toast. Greeted by a smile and then seated the shop felt friendly and the general atmosphere was good, which to me is very important in a coffee shop, along side the coffee being good and it was excellent! The tables had the story of the shop on them which was a Fascinating read. Will most definitely be visiting here again, for both lunch and after looking at the cakes afternoon tea and cake!

Stopped by and had breakfast with a friend. The staff were very lovely and the food was nice! Excited to try their lunch foods. Might try to pop by more often now!

Wonderful welcome! Visited with a group for a private party for my nieces baby shower. Very welcoming and helpful with lovely coffee and cake. I hope to be back soon! 😊

Lovely surroundings. My husband and I had a lovely chicken panini and a date and walnut cake. The caffe is family run and everyone was so lovely. Highly recommended.
